It's not essential to learn to play a musical instrument
Some people believe it's essential for a person's education to learn to play a musical instrument. Others don't believe music education is important. Which view do you agree with? Explain why.
Admittedly, music does play a big role in our lives. It helps us to relax, (comma is unnecessary here) and brings us a lot of pleasure. It is really beneficial for our mental health. However, I don't think it's essential to learn to play a musical instrument for everybody. First of all, whether to learn to play musical instruments or not, it depends on one's interest. Nearly all the people like to enjoy music, but not everyone would like to learn it. Besides, learning to play a musical instrument really needs a long time and a lot of practice. It is a kind of boring sometimes, you have to repeat the same thing again and again.0 votedApril 28, 20162- Hello, Mikhail. Yes, teaching children can be challenging due to their lack of motivation, But I don't think that mission is impossible just because your students says he won't do anything. First of all I have some questions: What aids do you use during your lessons? Do you have the opportunity to use the computer/internet? Do you have music player/dvd player? What are your student's hobbies, interests? I would talk with the parents anyway in order to find out their perspective on their son's English learning. Maybe they will give you an idea what works best for their son. Hope to talk with you soon. Diana0 votedNovember 20, 20120
Lying is a bad habit.
It’s a pity that my first notebook entry is about unpleasant event that has happened to me just couple of hours ago. I am teaching English here and have wonderful, intelligent, amazing students from all over the world with whom I am always happy to communicate. But couple of days ago a user Boris (33, Male, From Russian Federation, living in Moscow Russian Federation) asked for a trial session. I accepted the request and send him a mail asking about his needs and preferences as for our session. We exchanged mails and settled everything. But when the time of the session came, Boris was not online. I sent him my skype contact request, but he was offline on skype and didn’t accept it. I was waiting for him for nearly 40 minutes when the problem notification from italki came. He notified the italki team that I hadn’t appeared on the session and hadn’t warned him about my absence. Of course, I’ve sent my refutation but this event left a nasty taste in my mouth.
You know, I think that this was really unworthy deed of his. It’s annoying that such users spoil the nice friendly atmosphere on italki. I think that he just wanted to lower my ratings and decided to do it in such “inventive” way. Hope that italki team will solve this problem as soon as possible.
I wonder if such problems happen to other teachers too?0 votedMarch 7, 20110- Lying is a bad habit.
